Re: Celeb Apprentice 4 (aka Season 11)

What the heck was that furry hedgehog thing sitting on Nene's shoulder?? I kept waiting for it to take a bite out of her ear.

Last night's boardroom drama turned predictable a little sooner than in the past... it was pretty obvious that the bad guy was going to stay. He's just annoying enough to guarantee ratings for quite a while. But what a jerk!

Re: Celeb Apprentice 4 (aka Season 11)

I still do not understand the premise for the firings on this show. If you sucker all your friends in to donating money it just might go to some random person whose from the opposing team. I still think that any money that any celebrity brings in should go to their charity. I think the winning team could still be chosen by who wins the most money, but each celebrity should get their own connections and friends money for their charity. I know charity is charity and it is all good, but some of the stars leave getting no money for their charities, but still do a lot of capturing money.

It is also obvious more and more each season that some are kept around for an allotted time, and that some are around for a long time for drama. I almost wonder sometimes if Trump pays some of these stars a designated amount to be his easy firings when he sees who brings the drama.

That's ultimately the problem with this show to me, and why I find it hard to watch. It would be one thing to keep somebody like Hatch around if he and David were equally at fault, and Trump decided to keep the guy who brought more drama. But when you're the losing project manager, and 5 of your 7 teammates think you should be fired (and possibly all of them, they didn't show who Mark McGrath and Lil' Jon thought should leave), there's no possible way to justify firing somebody else without it seeming inappropriate.

Niki Taylor will definitely the be the Carol Alt/Brande Roderick/Maria Kanellis of this season that makes it to the final 4.

What's so horrible and tacky about Nene fighting with Marlee Matlin as opposed to fighting with any other contestant on the show? Certainly not because she's hearing impaired I'd hope, as I'm sure Marlee herself wouldn't want anyone tippy-toeing around her just because of her impairment. For that matter, from I've seen with her over the years she is very outspoken so I doubt she'd want anyone treating her "differently".

I'm confused about saying that smoking shows on David Cassidy. He smokes cigars and from what they showed of the left over cigar, not much of one. David was a truly beautiful young man but the reason he doesn't look good now is because of the yucky plastic surgery he's had. I'm sorry he left but not sorry I won't have to see what his search for perpetual youth has done to his face.

Richard had it out for David C from the very begining. Trump always plays a very manipulative game re who he fires. He decides who'll give better tv and he can always find a way to make it happen. He fired Khloe Kardashian for having a DUI years ago but Richard Hatch's criminal record is better than a DUI?? I'm sure Trump pays his taxes so why shouldn't Richard?
Logic and the rest of the team pointed towards Hatch being fired but Trump makes it work however he wants it to because of ratings.

Yes, it did happen. Twice. First time, Richard physically moved David out of his way with his arm and the second time, he actually poked David with his finger. It was obvious the guy had it out for David from the very begining.
Richard was a total jerk and David was playing it too nice or too safe and Trump used that, called it weakness, lack of passion and got rid of David. I didn't think it made sense but that sure wouldn't be the first time I disagreed with who Trump fires.
